    Michigan State favored to win the NCAA

    Yes, on paper, yeah, they look great and I had them very much on my mind as my choice.
    Well, did, until I check that "paper" closer and what I saw was not too impressive.

    The roster seems short of height and few veterans except for the one proven stud, Marcus. [Or did I miss something ]
    So now, hmm, I am now looking around for something more tempting, like athletic height and some solid veterans to back him up.
    Is it Kansas?

    Who do you have, and why?
    * I will as least look at any picks but I am not much of a follower, so make some strong points?

    Marcus???

    Is this a real post?

    How about Cassius Winston for proven veterans, leading the way at PG and the best player in the country, the preseason National Player of the Year from coaches poll by the widest margin ever.

    Winston-Langford-Henry is the best 1-2-3 in the country. The 4 spot is a question mark but Xavier Tillman is legit NBA talent down low. Spartans lack big height but their 6’8” guys are strong and tend to play like 6’11.

    As good as Cassius will be, I do worry about that 6'1 height? It's large players at all positions in today's sports market.
    Thanks at least for the tip.

    Means nothing pre season

    Duke favored every year and flops like Kentucky

    If MICH St loaded with Seniors then a shot

    Nope, and one of my big concerns.
